The VXR7200 VR Bridge, which is now going to production, is a connectivity solution for tethered USB Type-C cables deploying full VESA DP1.4 bandwidth. It is optimized for VR, AR, and MR dual displays headsets with resolutions up to 3Kx3K running at 120Hz with DSC compression to achieve best-in-class HMD user experience.

The D-PHY link can operate as 1 to 4 lanes, each running at 2.5Gbps and the C-PHY link can operate as 1 to 3 lanes, each running at up to 2.5 Gsps, which is equivalent to 5.7Gbps. The IP supports a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 10 Gbps in D-PHY mode and 17.1 Gbps in C- PHY mode. The combo PHY IP not only shares the serial interface pins, but Mixel’s implementation also reuses all the MIPI D-PHY functional blocks for the MIPI C-PHY, minimizing area and leakage power.

“Mixel differentiated MIPI IP offering along with their leadership position in the MIPI IP market, played a key role during the selection of our MIPI IP provider,” said Jeff Lukanc, Senior Director, interface solutions at Synaptics. “We were not only impressed with Mixel’s unique MIPI solution, but also with the outstanding support throughout the product development and bring-up phases. We’re looking forward to a long-term collaboration with Mixel” he added.

Mixel’s MIPI PHY IPs have been silicon-proven at eight different nodes and eight foundries, giving Mixel has the widest coverage in the industry.

President and CEO. “It is now clear that C-PHY adoption is accelerating beyond camera and into display applications, which bodes well for Mixel’s continued leadership in that segment.

Mixel will be demonstrating many of its own and its customers’ products at the MIPI Alliance’s MIPI DevCon Seoul, October 19th, in Seoul, Korea, where Mixel and Synaptics will be detailing their solution in a co-presentation titled “Dual Mode C-PHY/D-PHY Use in VR Display IC.”
